In her previous books, Beth Moore has introduced her readers to David and Paul. In Jesus, the One and Only, Beth introduces them to an intimate Savior as they get a close-up and personal portrait of the life of Jesus the Messiah.But this is far more than just a work on the life of Christ. As He has done in the past, God uses Beth’s words to woo the reader into a romance with the One and Only. The reader comes to know Christ personally, watching and listening as He breaks up a funeral by raising the dead, confronts conniving religious leaders of His day, teaches on a Galilean hillside, or walks on the waves and calms the storm.
Details: One of the most informative and moving books I have ever read about Jesus. I have two copies because one is worn and tattered. Lots of facts and references about the original meaning of Biblical words and explanations of culture during the time Christ walked the earth. Details Christ's life from Mary's conception to His death on the cross. Truly a moving personal experience reading this book. If you don't already know Jesus, you won't want to go another day without Him. If you already know him, you will enter into a more intimate relationship with Him than you ever imagined. Many times I read a page and had to stop reading and digest the magnitude of what I had just read and it's meaning for me and my personal relationship with Jesus. I will reread and reread and reread......
Review Summary: Breathing Life into Ancient Scripture
Date: 2008-10-16
Details: Fantastic! Beth Moore has a wonderful way of breaking down the life of Jesus in a simple, yet personal way. She weaves in historical Jewish customs and traditions, cross-references Old Testament verses and asks thought-provoking questions to make this two-thousand-year-old story come alive. Jesus was God in human form--the epitome of perfection and holiness but that didn't shelter him from living a normal childhood in a very average, working-class home or from encountering the same problems and temptations that we face. "Jesus, the One and Only" will help you understand the full character of Christ. Who he was. What he did. And how much he gave of himself to draw us into a relationship with God. This Bible study is perfect for women on any level, whether you've been a Christian for decades or days. Don't underestimate the power of this book. This isn't your average Sunday school Jesus story!
Review Summary: Jesus the One and Only by Beth Moore
Date: 2008-09-04
Details: The information provided in the study book is very good reading, especially for women's bible study groups. We currently are using this
for our church's circle group. We also purchased the study guide. I recommend it to anyone who hasn't read any of Beth Moore's books.
Review Summary: Love it!

Details: This book is great. It has really helped me focus on Jesus life here on earth. It has made me dig deeper to discover and wonder about the details. Beth Moore's applications of the passages have brought it to life.
Review Summary: fresh perspective on a familiar story
Date: 2008-01-14
Details: So far this is my favorite Beth Moore book. I've already read it twice and am sure to read it again. She tackles a very familiar story with fresh insights just about every chapter. It's not a "preachy" book. Rather she makes you feel like you're a fellow learner with a good friend. Unlike some of her other books, this does not require looking up many references which makes it ideal to read when you're reading somewhere other than your desk at home.
